So here I am again, posting from the world’s fastest train as we’re about to pull out of the Gare de Lyon in Paris. The TGV never ceases to amaze me. As long as there’s no strike going on (you just have to get lucky) – this high-speed bullet is always on time – an amazing thing in a country where the infrastructure is spotty at best…

I have survived another Atlantic crossing, but I swear I would kill to figure out some way to get some sleep on the overnight flight. Melatonin helps a bit, and I actually slept maybe 45 minutes to an hour last night, but I always arrived in a state that can only be called toast. Maybe I can catch a few zzzzs on the train before we hit Dijon. More soon…
